Baltimore's Hippodrome tweeted that the announcement is this Thursday 1/17. The clues they've given so far are: "The lineup includes 5 #Maryland premieres" and "5 shows are currently playing on Broadway." We have Hamilton this year which of course maxxed out the season ticket subscriptions, so I imagine they'll try to get a couple big names to hold on to that $$$$...

Did anyone catch the guy who was reading the Joe part during rehearsal when she was missing dinner with the husband? I thought I recognized him but can't place him and it's driving me nuts!

Renewal notices have started to arrive in the mail. I didn't have season tix this year but this is what my friend sent me: Jersey Boys Cirque Illuminations Shrek West Side Story Then, to fill out your subscription you have to pick 2 of the following: Les Mis Blue Man Group Rock of Ages But you don't necessarily get "your" seats for the last 2.

Guess he's getting better ... There's a video posted on TMZ of him giving his opinion of the Piven stuff. He seems to be moving ok now.

Loved it! I haven't laughed out loud at SNL for anything other than Tina Fey's Palin in a loooonnnnnnng time! Only 1 thing ... they went with the racist dialogue and I was SURE we were going to hear a few bars of "Everyone's a little bit racist."

I kind of figured this was coming when they announced the closing of the "official" online community.

My friends and I did the tour Saturday night the 31st. It was about 45 minutes, but we had to leave at 11:25 to run to the Port Authority to get the 11:30 bus. One of the asst. stage managers walked us around to see a bunch of stuff, an ensemble member who was friendly with her stopped by and just chatted about random things with us, and then we got to meet the kids and Gavin. Both kids were really friendly even though it was obvious they were exhausted! Gavin told us some funny stories as we...

I saw the show March 31 and all 3 sets were in the playbill. Also, we talked to the kids who did the show that night and Gavin and they all referred to the "three sets" repeatedly ... but that was 10 days ago and this is broadway, so who knows. :)

My 3 friends and I saw the show Saturday night and paid for one of the tours they were selling to benefit BCEFA. We met the two kids that were on that night and Gavin and got to be on and backstage. It was really cool. I had just seen the behind the scenes video with Gavin and mentioned it. He said it was much more stressful to be given a mic and a camera and an hour of tape to fill and that he'd rather be on stage where he knows his lines. :) One of the ass't stage managers showed us a few o...

One more week and we'll know who is and isn't touring :)

If that is so, the so called "formal invitation" should not be sent to generic addresses and mention that group sales will be available at the event - it was sent generically to my place of work, a school, not where my season tix go. Plus I find a random broadway board name would all of a sudden be sending my private messages from "Hippodrome Theater Management."

I got a flyer in the mail today inviting me to the annoucement of the 2007/08 season on March 29th at 11:30am. There is going to be a performance of "one of the hottest shows." Too bad it's a Thursday. I would love to go!

Our tix aren't until the 18th, but I'm excited! We have Annie tix for the Sunday after that as well. And then weekend after that we're going up to NY to see Mary Poppins. All the arrangements were made at different times so it kind of shocked me to turn over the March calendar page and see how busy we're going to be! :)

I'm keeping my fingers crossed for any new tour. I'd love to get Jersey Boys, Avenue Q, Color Purple, Drowsy Chaperone, Light in the Piazza, Producers, Phantom ... so many great shows! :) :) :)

Thanks ... my search engine was having issues, I guess.

Hi, all. I tried searching the boards because I know this has been discussed a zillion times, but I can't find it! Can you tell me what time I should get to the show in order to see about being picked? I know the chances are one in a million, but at least there's that one chance. :) Any other tidbits you can share are greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Hi, all ... I've had the Spelling Bee CD for awhile now, but I'm going to see the tour in Baltimore on Sunday so I've become a 24/7 listener. :) I'm so excited! I'd love to get picked to be in it, but the theater here is so big it probably won't happen. Thanks for spreading the spelling bee love and getting me hooked! : Jenny

He's already spending time there because he made a Greg Cam appearance a week or two ago ... I guess I'll just wait and see how it goes. I like to think they would stick with someone who is going to do a good job since there are so many people to choose from! :)

At first I thought it was totally insane, but I've warmed to the idea. Grease talks about pregnancy and that was a whole lot of shock value at one point in time too. Neat that the family is in on it and recognizing that there's potential for it to play out in high schools while also still being on Broadway.

I remember the kid who couldn't count right. He counted all out of order but always ended on the right number.
